From a tour of Paris in a tourist bus, to a father who has decided to become a "stay-at-home dad", to a manager who believes in his rap group, Smaïn underlines with his words and humor the flaws of our society that are, in the end, so familiar to us.
Comedian and podcaster Marc Maron offers up his nuanced perspective on our increasingly uncertain world.
THE SHOW: In 1996, Smaïn achieved recognition by winning the Molière Award for Best "One-man Show" for his performance "Comme ça se prononce" at the Casino de Paris. 10 totally outrageous sketches!

SKETCHES: 1 My look, my style 2 It's moving! 3 Here I am! 4 I can't take it anymore 5 I'm brand new! 6 Movie soundtracks 7 I have a cramp 8 Shut up...! I'm rich! 9 Isn't my life beautiful! 10 Haven't you seen my sister?
Haroun - Seuls
Recorded in May 2024 at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in Paris. For his first show, Monsieur Poulpe gives his all, combining sincerity and madness. It's a tightrope act to which he invites an audience won over by his gentle madness and his inpredictable world.
The film tells about the cold relations between neighbors. However, an old woman who enters this building seems to melt this cold ice. The neighbors begin to get to know each other.
The plot of the play revolves around Lola, a sexagenarian, divorced and not very well off, who gets it into her head to have a breast reconstruction.
Maligne - Noémie Caillault
Once upon a time... "The other day..." is his catchphrase, his trademark: the expression that introduces each of his sketches. A true storyteller of everyday life, Olivier de Benoist recounts with verve and finesse his life experiences inspired by his family, the world of work, society... all of which are inexhaustible sources of jokes and anecdotes with highly laughable potential. With this man who defines himself as a popular comedian with a script, routine always turns into an adventure novel. A one-man show designed especially for Comédie+, so you can say... "The other day, I laughed so hard!" Recorded on June 25, 2025, at the Théâtre des Sources in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, in the Hauts-de-France region, for the benefit of the Canal+ Group's Comédie+ channel.
Doully : Hier j'arrête !
In this new creation, Pablo abandons his caricatured persona as a reactionary editorialist. The spirit and tone remain satirical, of course, questioning the evolution of our society over the last thirty years. Family, sexuality, new technologies... these are just some of the themes on which Pablo shares his vision and his (entirely personal) truths against a backdrop of 90s pop culture—the years of his childhood!

My name is Arnaud. I'm going to play in the Trio show with Baptiste and Jérémy. I've been asked to write the pitch for the show. As I write these lines, I don't know anything about it. But basically, this is how it's going to happen: we're going to write a show and it shouldn't go as planned because of one person. Apparently me. Thanks to my great experience, I'll save the evening. Baptiste will follow me with his eyes closed because he loves me. Jérémy will yell at me because he's an idiot. But what's certain is that you're going to laugh a lot. And so will we.
Embark on this surprising true story, that of Charles Gentès, a post-war singer nicknamed THE GOLDEN VOICE: original songs from the era, covers of the great French songs (Aznavour, Brel, Piaf, Trenet, Brassens, Montand, as well as Dario Moreno and Dalida), passionate love affairs, and experience this crazy and tender family saga that will unfold before your eyes and take you from Egypt to Lebanon via the cabarets of Montmartre. Family secrets, reconciliation with the past, laugh and cry with this musical show that you will love! Recorded at the Théâtre Actuel La Bruyère, in Paris's 9th arrondissement.
One evening, Eric Vence, founder of "Rupture à domicile" (Home Breakup), is hired by Hyppolite to tell his girlfriend that he has decided to leave her.

Recorded at the Palais des Congrès et des Festivals Atlantia in La Baule.
My name is Arnaud. I’m going to perform in the Trio show with Baptiste and Jérémy. I’ve been tasked with writing the pitch for the show. As I write these lines, I have no idea what it’s going to be. But roughly, here’s how it’ll go: we’re going to write a show, and it probably won’t go as planned because of one person. Apparently, me. Thanks to my vast experience, I’ll save the evening. Baptiste will follow me blindly because he loves me. Jérémy will yell at me. Because he’s an idiot. But one thing’s for sure: you’re going to laugh a lot. And so will we.
